Love Warren Spahn!! When he retired, he did an interview and the reporter asked him what his career might have been like if he didn't lose 3 years to the War. Spahn said, “After what I went through overseas, I never thought of anything I was told to do in baseball as hard work. You get over feeling like that when you spend days on end sleeping in frozen tank tracks in enemy threatened territory. The Army taught me something about challenges and about what’s important and what isn’t. Everything I tackle in baseball and in life I take as a challenge rather than work.”
Warren Spahn is not only the winningest left-hander ever, he is also the 5th winningest pitcher of all time and the winningest post-WWII! Only Cy Young -511, Walter Johnson - 417, Christy Mathewson - 373 and Grover Cleveland Alexander - 373 won more than Warren's 366! One of the greatest! You guys slugged it out and acquitted yourselves well! Thanks for making it fun!
Congratulations to Chris on getting back into the winning column, and with the great pitcher Warren Spahn. I feel fortunate that I was able to see him play on television many years ago 😀. Somehow I also have two of his original Hartland figurines!
Awesome episode! As a Braves fan, I love my cards of the Big 3: Aaron, Mathews, and Spahn. Great to see Spahn this week, and looking forward to Eddie next week! My '52 Topps Mathews is the most I have ever spent on a baseball card (don't tell my wife).
Way to go Chris. I really enjoyed this episode as I have most of Spahn's cards myself. Was surprised that his 5 sporting news cards were not included in the competition. Can hardly wait to next week!
Another great episode! I look forward to seeing the collections, and really appreciate you zooming in to better show the cards. Big fan of the Milwaukee Braves, and looking forward to the Eddie Mathew’s showdown.
I believe that you guys incorrectly said he won 20 games 8 times. He actually won 20 games 13 times in a span of 17 years and he lost 3 years to the war. Two of the four years he didn't win 20, he won 17 and 18. Think about that. Great video series and keep them coming.

He is so right.
I woke up the neighbors, cheering on Chris!!!! 😂

Congratulations Chris!
Spahn has some of the greatest cards of any player ever. Baseball Royalty, thanks for showing off your cards guys!
He does and his cards are so overlooked by the hobby in my opinion.
Great job guys!
Thanks John.
Great pitcher with some great cards. Love the 53 Bowman and 58 Topps.
Mike is correct about his only rookie card. Really enjoyed this episode, thanks for sharing
Hi Mike. Another great episode, congrats Chris. Talk soon guys.
Nice tribute to Spahn today guys!
I really enjoyed the video. I dug out my Warren Spahn collection, and followed along which was fun. I scored 219 points with my collection.
Great score Dan!!
Congrats Chris!!! Nice job having the whole run. Had a lowly 108.5 - missing a lot of Spahn cards still. Matthews will be fun next week.
Congrats Chris!! Another great episode guys! Spahn has some beautiful cards!
Thanks John. Spahn will be really fun.
Enjoyed seeing the Spahn episode. I have prioritized the oddball cards, but completing his base run is coming soon.
I'll have to play along this time@
Spahn is indeed the most decorated WWII veteran among MLB players. Four major medals, including the Purple Heart earned at the Battle of the Bulge.
Spahn was a stud of a human being.
congrats chris on finally winning one. Cant wait for Eddie Matthews.

Hi Guys. Great video and a lot of fun to watch. I am enjoying watching this series. Congrats to Chris on the win.
Chris did it! He finally won again 😄
He did. Now let's not give him the big head. LOL
@@BaseballCollector lol
Warren Spahn, owner of arguably the best-looking player run ever. Especially if you subtract the '65T haha!
Chris wins one?!? What is this!
Make it 4 people rooting for Chris on this one…I just love an underdog. Lol fun episode. ‘53 Bowman is my favorite of his
Don't let Chris fool you Joe. He is not the underdog. He has an amazing collection.
@@BaseballCollector oh I know but Vegas had you has a heavy favorite riding that win streak. Haha
Carlton best lefty ever. Said wearing my Phillies Jersey
